North American Gunslinger Detective

578 Threat
Today is destined to be unstable. Jimmy was about to slip away early in the afternoon when the phone rang. After looking at it, Jimmy picked it up, "Speak."

"Mr. Yang, is it convenient now?" Charon's voice came, and he couldn't hear any special emotions, of course he usually spoke like this.

Jimmy: "In 15 minutes."

Charon: "Okay, I'll call back later."

Jimmy put away his phone, looked at the time, and sat back down.This is relatively rare, and Charon usually won't call during the day.

When it was time to get off work, Jimmy came to the parking lot and drove away from Federation Square. The phone rang on time, "Mr. Yang, is it okay now?"

Jimmy: "Well, tell me."

Charon: "We just got the news that someone paid for your information. The manager asked me to remind you."

Jimmy: "May I know who it is?"

Charon: "Sorry, I don't think so."

Jimmy: "Thanks. I'll keep an eye out."

Charon: "Goodbye, sir."

Jimmy hung up the phone and thought about it while driving. At present, the one who can buy his own information from the hotel channel must not be Director Callaway or Prosecutor Maxwell, so it should be that Curtis, who can still get it through the outside in prison. Some people buy information, this guy's energy is not small.

As for going to the hotel to ask for information face-to-face, Jimmy still can't do it. Charon called and said no, so he went directly to the hotel and probably got the same answer.At least from the previous contact, the people in the hotel are relatively well-behaved.

Jimmy looked at the road ahead, parked the car on the side of the road, found Maxwell's number on his mobile phone and called, "Mr. Maxwell, is it convenient now? How is it going?"

Maxwell: "I have already communicated, and I am waiting for news. I am a little busy now, and I will get back to you later. Goodbye."

Jimmy was still very surprised when he heard the beeping beeping of the phone. He looked very busy to be able to hang up the phone so directly.

The federal prosecutor is indeed very busy, because there are many cases, but now it is off-duty time, theoretically he should not be so dedicated.They are different from the FBI. It is normal for the FBI to work overtime when handling cases, because suspects do not work from nine to five.

He stopped on the side of the road and thought for a while, looked at his watch. There was still enough time, so Jimmy started the car and rushed to a restaurant near Hughes' home.

It was a small restaurant with only four tables against the wall. It was off-duty time and there were not many people there. Jimmy sat opposite Hughes. After ordering, he took a sip of the champagne that had been prepared on the table.

Hughes: "How was the communication?"

Jimmy: "There is no feedback from Callaway yet. I plan to ask tomorrow. The other side is halfway through. There are people behind the scenes. I am dealing with it."

Hughes nodded: "I have some news to tell you. Callaway has news, but there are still some troubles to deal with. You don't have to follow her."

Jimmy: "Okay...May I know what the trouble is?"

Hughes took a deep breath and said, "With a little deal, we can work it out. I'll tell you the result later, but now is not the time. The steak Wellington in this restaurant is very good."

Jimmy shrugged: "OK, you are the boss."

Hughes: "How's your advanced study plan? By the way, what's your current degree?"

Jimmy: "Graduated from a community college with an associate degree. The advanced training plan is advancing, and there is still a lack of policy from the bureau. If there is policy support from the bureau, it will be smoother."

Hughes: "Tell me in detail."

When Jimmy saw the waiter coming over with a dinner plate, he paused and did not continue. After the dinner was placed on the table and the waiter left, he continued: "I have contacted someone from the New York University Alliance. If there is policy support, they are willing to accept me. You can enroll at any time and only take credits in designated subjects, etc. There are some very favorable conditions, otherwise you can only register for normal on-the-job education and enroll next year, which will take about 2-3 years."

Hughes: "What if all goes well?"

Jimmy: "A year to a year and a half."

Hughes nodded, picked up the knife and fork and began to eat dinner, Jimmy didn't say anything, and the two ended the dinner quietly.When he left the restaurant and came to the door, Hughes stopped by the side, "Jimmy, wait a minute.... Are the prosecutors sure?"

Jimmy nodded resolutely: "I will take care of it." There are only two things in total, and one of them is still flying. If you can't get it right, then this test will be considered a complete failure.

Hughes: "OK, then wait for your news."

Jimmy: "Okay, good night, Hughes."

Hughes: "Good night."

It was so close to Hughes' home that he could walk back directly, and Jimmy drove back to the apartment to rest in the car on the side of the road.

Sitting on the sofa, Nia is still working overtime, and now Nia is busy and Jimmy is idle.Jimmy turned on the TV, took a can of beer and drank slowly.

Hughes is a little bit wrong today. He didn't ask the details about the prosecutor's side. Obviously, at the beginning, he believed that Jimmy could handle it, but when he finally left, he stopped him and asked this question specifically. What's the matter? Is it an accident?
After thinking about it, Jimmy decided to ask.

After tidying up his clothes and holsters, Jimmy went out and drove to Brooklyn. Jimmy knew the address of Prosecutor Maxwell. Although he hadn't tracked the location before, the information would not lie.

Came outside Adam Maxwell's house, Jimmy called his phone in the car, saw a person in the house reached out to pick up the phone, Jimmy directly located his location, "Adam, is it convenient now?"

Adam: "I know what you want to hear, I've met him and relayed what you said."

Jimmy: "Let's talk in person, I'm outside."

Adam didn't speak, and went directly to the window and looked out. Jimmy turned on the headlights and then turned them off, and the phone was hung up.Adam came out of the room, opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.

Jimmy: "I want to know his reaction."

Adam: "He didn't respond. After I finished speaking, he confirmed your name and ended the interview and returned to the cell."

Jimmy: "Just to confirm my name?"

Adam: "Senior FBI Agent Jimmy Young, Manhattan office, that's all."

Jimmy took out the cigarette case from his pocket and handed Adam one, "Try this, it's made in China."

Adam lit a cigarette, Jimmy opened the windows on both sides, and lit one for himself, and the two of them smoked quietly.

After smoking half a cigarette, Jimmy said, "I received a message today that someone is investigating my information."

Adam turned his head and glanced at Jimmy, then turned his head to look forward again, but stretched out the right hand holding the cigarette to the outside of the car to flick the ash, "It's not me."

Jimmy: "I want to know about Curtis."

Adam: "I don't know, I only know that he is an expert in forgery, and his specialty is forging paintings. You can investigate in the FBI database. He was captured by your people, that is, Peter Bolk."

Jimmy: "So it's personal?"

Adam nodded: "It's possible."

Jimmy: "I see, thank you."

Adam: "You're welcome. I hope you understand that I'm not a hindrance."

Jimmy: "I see, thanks, Adam. Go back, I won't delay your rest. Goodbye."

Adam nodded, opened the door and got out of the car. He stood on the sidewalk and watched Jimmy start the car and leave. When the taillights could no longer be seen, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and turned back to the house.

It's night now. It's not impossible for Jimmy to go back to the FBI to investigate directly, but he has a more convenient way.

Jimmy called Jones and went straight to his apartment to meet.

When Jones knew that Jimmy's target was Curtis Hagen, he directly told him that it was best to find Neil Caffrey, because it was Neil and Peter who teamed up to get Curtis into prison, and the method was somewhat inappropriate. so pretty.

Jimmy didn't ask Jones what the unsightly trick was, and he could imagine it was a bit out of order.

After asking about Neil's phone number and address, Jimmy drove directly to an old building in Manhattan. Looking at the building in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

The whole body is a white three-story masonry building with decorative chimneys and spires on the top, a small balcony on the second floor, and masonry guardrails and columns outside the first floor. It looks old.This kind of house, this kind of location, is worth at least tens of millions of dollars. Neil lives here?
"You're not kidding me, how could a criminal like Neil Caffrey live in such a nice place?"

After pressing the doorbell, a white maid came over and opened the inner door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jimmy took out his FBI ID: "Senior FBI Agent Jimmy Young, I'm looking for Neil Caffrey."

The maid opened the door and let Jimmy in. "He's on the third floor."

Jimmy thanked with a smile. The maid took him up to the third floor and knocked on the door, "Neil, an FBI agent is looking for you."

"Please come in."

The maid turned the doorknob and opened it, letting Jimmy in. She closed the door and left.

Jimmy: "Neil, it's a nice place for you to live in."

Neil turned to look at Jimmy: "Hi, Jimmy, good evening. What's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Well, I want to know about Curtis Hagan."

Neil was stunned, "Why?"

Jimmy: "Peter's case, tell me everything you know."

Neil: "Wait, Hagen has been arrested and is serving time in prison. Why is Peter's case related to him?"

Jimmy: "A prosecutor was threatened by Hagen and insisted on getting Peter to go to court. I have already solved the previous part. Now, I need to understand how Hagen threatened a prosecutor."

Neil looked at Jimmy, stunned for a few seconds, then walked to the wine cabinet next to him: "Have a drink? Red wine?"

Jimmy: "Okay."

Jimmy walked to the table and sat down. Neil came over with half a bottle of red wine and two glasses. After pouring the wine, he sat on the side of the table. , specializing in art restoration, forgery of paintings, almost three years ago Peter caught him, jailed for forging WWII Spanish Victory Bonds."

Jimmy: "That's all?"

Neil: "Well, I don't know him well. I just found him and arrested him when we were investigating the case, so I learned a little bit about him. By the way, we traced his clues at the beginning because of a counterfeit banknote case , he made fake $100 bills, only to find out later that Spanish Victory bonds had been stolen, and he made copies of them.”

Jimmy: "His family? Social connections?"

Neil: "No, in fact we don't have any other information about him. If the original Spanish war bonds weren't found at the scene of the arrest, we wouldn't even be able to convict him."

Jimmy took a sip of red wine, thinking about how to talk to this Hagen, when suddenly the door was opened, and a man came in holding the box, "Neil, I'm almost done... who are you?"

Jimmy looked at the person who entered the door, and Neil immediately said, "This is my friend. Mosquito, this is FBI agent Jimmy Young, Peter's colleague."

Mosquito: "Oh, it seems that I came at the wrong time. Goodbye, good night, both of you."

He turned to leave, Jimmy said: "I should go, if you think of other materials, give me a call."

Jimmy stood up, took out his business card from his pocket and put it on the table, "Goodbye, Neil, Mosquito."

Jimmy jumped over the mosquitoes, opened the door and went out.

The next day, Jimmy called Mrs. Mason to ask for leave, and soon returned to the office. Then he drove directly to the prison where Curtis was held, and successfully entered the prison with his ID. He handed over his gun and came to the interrogation. Waiting for the prison guards to bring Curtis over.

Soon, a middle-aged man with short hair and a somewhat unkempt appearance was brought in, "Curtis Hagen. Senior FBI agent Jimmy Young, I think you've heard my name."

Curtis was about to go behind the table and sit down, but stopped right where he was.After a while, Curtis said, "Agent Yang, what can I do for you?"

Jimmy: "I just came to meet you and get your name and appearance. Now, it's all right, you can go back."

Jimmy walked to the door of the interrogation room and knocked on the iron door, "We're done."

Curtis turned his head to look at Jimmy. The prison guard opened the door to let Jimmy leave, then handcuffed Curtis and took him back to the cell.

Jimmy got his gun and holster back and left the prison.

Jimmy didn't say much, because the investigation of his information was done yesterday afternoon, and Curtis must not get the information by himself. Since it is someone else, he must come to the prison to meet Curtis, and then his own information will be real. Appeared in front of Curtis.

He has already appeared in front of Curtis, and he will definitely urge that person to bring the materials over quickly. After a while, he will investigate Curtis's meeting records, and he will naturally know who went to the hotel to buy his materials.

Back in the office, Jimmy greeted the others, and went to the field office again to look for Mahone to confirm whether the current case information had been updated. A press release would be held after the results of the prosecution hearing initiated by the federal prosecutor I will.
